CPD Seminars presented by Gent by Honeywell
Understanding New Fire Legislation: Comply Don't Fry
A presentation which helps remind those involved within the provision of an automatic fire detection system what is actually required under current and forthcoming legislation and standards. CIBSE, CPD Service and IEI accredited.
This presentation starts by
looking at current legislation and provides an overview of forthcoming new
legislation, paying particular attention to The Fire & Rescue Services Act 2004,
and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005/6, due to be implemented in
April 2006. As most of the new legislation is based on a risk assessment rather
than a prescriptive approach, we have included a guideline on what is entailed
in carrying out a Fire Risk assessment and how the forthcoming government
guidelines will further help in meeting this new requirement.
Another act which effects the provision of the fire detection system is the
Disability Discrimination Act 1995 part III, which certainly adds some further
requirement to the provision of a fire detection system.
Other documents, whilst not legislative requirements in their own right, do
provide the detail of what/how you should provide for the system – the Building
Regulations approved documents B & M and the British Standard for fire systems
BS5839-1:2002.
Finally the third party quality assurance or third party accreditation schemes,
which will be required by the Fire Services and Insurers as this new legislation
becomes effective, are reviewed.
Certificates of completion are awarded to attendees completing the course.
